The Dementia Research Society is pleased to invite Dr. Emilie Brotherhood again for an academic talk on the Rare Dementia (GNMLD-TALK) Study. This event is in collaboration with UCL Psychology and Language Sciences Society!
The GNMLD-TALK study is a major NIHR-funded project focused on improving support for people living with non-memory-led dementias such as Posterior Cortical Atrophy, Primary Progressive Aphasia, and Frontotemporal Dementia. GNMLD-TALK is developing and evaluating new online support programmes, designed with and for people with rare dementias and their families, aiming to improve communication, wellbeing, and access to meaningful support.
Dr Emilie Brotherhood is a Senior Research Fellow in Neuropsychology at UCL’s Queen Square Institute of Neurology. She is an internationally recognised researcher in rare and atypical dementias, with around 1,500 citations in the field. She completed her PhD at UCL studying physiological responses to music in people with dementia to inform digital music-based therapeutics, and recently returned from an Atlantic Fellowship for Equity in Brain Health at the Global Brain Health Institute (UCSF). She is currently Co-Principal Investigator of the £1.91m RD-TALK study (2023–2028), leading innovative, patient-centred approaches to dementia support.
